My favorite is my Browning Nomad... this was my dad's plinker and it's still dead accurate and loads of fun to shoot. I recently bought a Ruger Single Six and am having lots of fun with it as well. I love the 22 Magnum chamber option. I have a friend who has asked me to sell her deceased husband's Ruger Mark I, so I've done a bit of shooting with it to try it out. Also a very nice gun, lots of fun to shoot. Once you get the hang of its disassembly and re-assembly I give it two thumbs up as well. So yes, I am enjoying going to the range and shooting lots of 22's at a low price, but I always make sure to bring along my S&W 686 and some 357 mags for the big bang thrill. Finally, there's another way I keep up my target skills without even a trip to the range: I've got a S&W 586 air pistol (CO2 cartridge, ten pellet magazine) that is incredibly accurate, feels just like a real 586 (weight, size... just not the recoil). I can shoot this for hours and have lots of fun with nearly zero cost! Highly recommended.

I'm looking to purchase a S&W 686 (no dash) 357 mag revolver, 6 inch barrel. The first three digits of the serial number are AHY. That puts the gun somewhere between 1980 and 1986. The gun has only slight rings around the cylinder with no other scratches. The owner wants $550. Is this a reasonable price? My other choice would be a new Ruger GP100 stainless 6 inch online for about $520. Thanks. Neuro

I recently got back into handgun shooting... used to shoot in college years ago but before the kids were born I sold my small Beretta pistol and S&W 38 snubnose. Have not shot since then, though I still have one of the guns from that time, a 1967 Browning Nomad 22LR pistol which is still dead on target. I recently bought a Bersa Thunder 9mm Ultra Compact for home defense (qualified with it last night) and to take to the range occasionally, love it! Now I am looking for a 357 magnum revolver with a 5 - 6 inch barrel; thinking hard about a Ruger GP100. Looked at a Taurus 66 and do not like the feel of the trigger, and the S&W is a couple hundred more than I want to spend. Hope to learn a lot from you guys. Neuro
